Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer € 183 to pay you € 1 850. In other words, every time you spend € 10 of your hard-earned money, € 1.91 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
17.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 9.2% tax rate now rises to 17.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 8.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make € 22 200 a year living in Ireland, you will be taxed € 2 042. That means that your net pay will be € 20 158 per year, or € 1 680 per month. Your average tax rate is 9.2% and your marginal tax rate is 34.7%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of € 100 in your salary will be taxed € 34.66, hence, your net pay will only increase by € 65.34.
